I am a native of Virginia, MN and have lived in North Carolina since 1997. I chose to become a doctor because I felt the best way I could help and build my community was through healthcare. My philosophy of care is to never give up on a patient. We continue to work with our patients to get them back to pain-free ambulation. We approach patients as a whole individual, not just their foot and ankle. My areas of clinical interest are sports medicine and the surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Outside of work, I like to fish, golf and spend time at my cabin. I have a wife and two sons.
